Education
Dodge was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1943.[1] He attended Ridley College, a private boarding school (second alumnus to become Bank Governor), and graduated from Queen's University with a degree in economics. He received his Ph.D in economics from Princeton University in 1972.[2]
Career
He was Assistant Professor of Economics at Queen's University, Associate Professor of Canadian Studies and International Economics at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, Senior Fellow in the Faculty of Commerce at the University of British Columbia, and visiting professor in the Department of Economics at Simon Fraser University. He has also been as Director of the International Economics Program of the Institute for Research on Public Policy.
Canadian Politics
Dodge worked in the senior ranks of the Canadian federal government from 1992 to January 2001—one month before his appointment as Governor of the Bank of Canada.[3]
He was appointed Deputy Minister of Finance in 1992. He worked closely with Finance Minister Paul Martin to eliminate the federal budget's deficit spending.[4]
In 1998, Dodge was appointed the Deputy Minister of Health. While Deputy, Dodge played a critical role in the founding the Winnipeg National Microbiology Laboratory.[5]
Bank of Canada
In 2001, Dodge was appointed the Governor of the Bank of Canada.[6] His appointment was controversial as the Bank of Canada traditionally promotes from within, helping to avoid the perception of politicizing of the central bank.[7][7] In 2008, Dodge retired from the Bank of Canada, and was replaced by Mark Carney.[7]
Following his exit from the Bank, Dodge joined the Canadian law firm Bennett Jones as a senior advisor.[8]
Chancellor of Queen's University
Dodge was elected as the 13th chancellor of Queen's University on May 2, 2008, succeeding A. Charles Baillie. The appointment was effective July 1, 2008, though Dodge was only officially installed later that year, on October 30. Dodge had the position until his retirement at the end of his second-term on June 30, 2014. He was subsequently appointed chancellor emeritus by the University Council.[9]
Dodge was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in October, 2009.
He was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2007.[10]
